The document discusses gender differences in computer game preferences and the emergence of "girl games" as a genre. It notes that early computer games were designed primarily for young male audiences and featured stereotypical gender roles. Researchers found that girls tended to prefer cooperative gameplay without violence over games designed for boys. Game developers then began creating games for girls that emphasized social interaction, emotions, and realistic themes over action/violence.

Video Gaming
1) Video games have historically underrepresented women and minorities in both character representations and marketing. Female characters have often been limited to tropes like the damsel in distress.
2) More recent games have provided more options for customizing avatars and their race/gender, but stereotypes still persist in both character designs and player interactions. For example, most black male characters are athletes.
3) Massively multiplayer online role-playing games in particular can reinforce real-world biases through the social interactions between globally connected players. Representations in games both shape and reflect societal views.
Mac129 MED102 video games and representation 2010 11
The document discusses representations of gender, race and other groups in video games from the early 1950s to present day. It notes that early game development was dominated by white heterosexual males, resulting in stereotypical portrayals of women, racial minorities and other groups. While more inclusive in recent years, concerns remain around objectification of women and normalization of violence. The industry has also been slow to include diverse groups in design and development roles. Overall, the document examines how representations in games both reflect and help shape cultural attitudes.

The document summarizes Jeff Johannigman's presentation on immersive learning simulations. It discusses how terms like "games" and "fun" can be barriers for corporate adoption, and promotes using the term "immersive learning simulations" instead. It also outlines various types of learning games and the key ingredients of an effective game, including interactivity, game mechanics, balanced challenge, feedback, and resource management.
The Serious World Of Games 2 0 (2)
The document discusses how games are increasingly being used for serious purposes beyond just entertainment. It provides examples of games used by the US Army for recruitment and training. These games aim to realistically simulate experiences while also inculcating important values. The document also discusses virtual worlds and massively multiplayer online role-playing games that are used commercially but could potentially support analysis by allowing testing of theories against objective realities in simulated environments. Within 5 years, it suggests desktop applications may emerge that use 3D virtual worlds to allow analysts to investigate identities and events by simulating possible scenarios.

This document provides an overview of Generation Edge (ages 10-25), who have grown up with technology integrated into all aspects of their lives. Some key points:
- They think about and experience technology differently than older generations, seamlessly integrating it into socializing, education, creativity, and more.
- Growing up with constant connectivity and access to information has made them adaptable, self-reliant learners who challenge traditional structures and see the online world as a space for experimentation.
- Social media is both a source of conflict for managing their image and relationships, and a way to strengthen community.
- They are advancing conversations around gender, with more fluid conceptions of identity.

How video games can enhance graduate attributes
This workshop begins by seeking to determine which graduate attributes participants feel they currently possess, and reflect upon how and where these attributes were developed. Inspired by preliminary research into students’ views on video games and their relationship with learning, the workshop then examines each of the University’s stated graduate attributes and invites discussion around the assertion that many of these attributes can be – and are already being – developed as a result of engagement with modern video games.

The document discusses how alternate realities and games are influencing society and could shape the future. It argues that networked games meet gamers' standards for happiness by providing clear goals, feedback, responsive environments, and a sense of community and purpose. Alternate realities could harness gamers' talents for collaboration and provide insights into how to engage them. In the future, more organizations may adopt customized alternate realities to reach gamers and do business in a radically better way.

Generation Edge - Understanding the new Young India
Generation Edge in India refers to those born between 1994-onwards, numbering at least 400 million people. They have grown up in a time of rapid changes and increased opportunities in India. While ambitious and wanting to chart their own path, they still face pressures from traditional values emphasizing stability, modesty and conformity. As the first generation with widespread access to technology and global influences, Generation Edge struggles to balance individualism with social expectations in a still largely conservative society. For brands, it is important to inspire and support this generation by showing them how to pursue their dreams and manage multiple identities, while making the most of opportunities in the present.
The Asian Mystique
Hanzo is a character in Overwatch who is from Japan. He was trained from a young age to take over his family's assassin clan. However, he was forced to kill his own brother Genji when Genji refused to follow the clan. This act traumatized Hanzo and led him to abandon the clan in search of redemption. Hanzo's character draws on some aspects of Japanese culture through his weapon choice of a bow, references to sake, and emphasis on concepts like filial piety and restoring honor. However, his background as part of a criminal assassin clan could promote some negative stereotypes about Japan.

Augmented reality (AR) enhances real-world environments by overlaying digital information and objects. The document discusses AR applications for practitioners, including educational games that use AR simulations to engage students in role-playing scenarios. Some examples provided are Alien Contact, where students work in teams to determine why aliens have landed, and Environmental Detectives, where students investigate the source of a toxin spill on a university campus. The document suggests ARIS and FreshAir as open-source platforms for creating mobile AR games and experiences that combine virtual and physical worlds.
Nonprofit Partnerships with Youth
This document discusses partnerships between nonprofits and youth. It notes that youth are highly engaged in social causes through digital technologies and social media. Youth are more likely than older generations to participate in causes by signing petitions, volunteering, fundraising, and attending events. However, nonprofits must understand how to effectively engage youth by making opportunities social and fun, integrating their passions and skills, and empowering individual action. The document provides tips for nonprofits to increase youth participation through knowledge sharing, learning, participating in short-term opportunities, and offering leadership positions to collaborate.

Convergence Culture
The document discusses the concept of media convergence, where changes in communication technologies are reshaping how people interact with media and each other. A networked culture has emerged where producers and consumers connect in complex ways and audiences can directly interact with media. Collective intelligence refers to the sum of knowledge held by individuals in a group, where no single person knows everything but together they know a lot. The document also counters myths about convergence, noting that different devices will continue to coexist and old media forms will persist alongside new ones. Examples are given of transmedia storytelling through The Matrix and Lost franchises distributing narratives across multiple media platforms.

An in-depth look into Gender Role Portrayals
This document discusses gender role portrayals in video games. It examines research from 1998 analyzing 33 popular Nintendo and Sega games which found that 41% did not include female characters and 28% portrayed women as sex objects. More recent research studies the impact of sexualized female characters and the influence this can have on perceptions of women. While some games still feature harmful stereotypes, the portrayal of women in video games has significantly shifted since the late 1990s, with more prominent female protagonists like Lara Croft. However, issues of sexism in video games remain an ongoing topic of discussion.

Casual gaming design
- Casual gaming began in 1990 when Microsoft bundled Solitaire with Windows, establishing many tropes of casual games. Solitaire served as a gateway for many who would not otherwise consider themselves gamers.
- These new "casual gamers" played Solitaire in small chunks throughout their day and eventually expanded to other casual games like Minesweeper and Bejeweled without ever thinking of themselves as "gamers".
- Females prefer games that allow emotional and social discovery applicable to real life, connect meaningfully to the real world, and allow nurturing through helping other players.
